I can say with absolute resolve that my college experience would have been incomplete without this semester. My life as an actor, living in New York is filled with more confidence. I feel I can compete fiercely in this world of theater thanks to every single part of my Tepper experience.”
Alex Liebman '07

Program Shows

An essential part of the Tepper Semester experience is seeing theater every week, up to 30 shows during each semester. Exposure to a spectrum of theater allows students to experience the widest range of performances, from Broadway, to Off-Broadway, including intimate and experimental original works.
